the moral of this thread is to let kiwifarms plan your wedding. absolutely nothing will go wrong.
"And over here we will have concentrated autism"

AITA is a(n obvious) karmawhoring subreddit but somehow AmItheAngel is kinda worse because if a post has even one little teenie tiny bit of negativity towards a woman they go ape about how mysoginistic AITA is and how they all hate "insert-buzzword-of-the-day" people.

Every 'advice/rating' in AITA could be summed up as "yikes red flag/dump your partner/cut all contact with family/therapy". It's the world's most boring bingo card

An AITA post involving someone arranging a pot luck for their sister's "apology dinner" was trending on Twitter today.

Notably, the lady explains what a pot luck is, but not an apology dinner which has led to people asking what the fuck an apology dinner is supposed to be, and why haven't they heard of it before.

I haven't heard of it either, but I'm assuming it's just using dinner as a way to apologize to someone, or whatever.

I think this "apology dinner" thing is viral marketing or some kind of weird bot thing. The post you mentioned was just deleted for being faked, but someone in the thread mentioned another thread (archive) where another person mentioned such an event.

Both users/OPs have no other posts except about this. Both have names with a string of numbers afterwards. It's all a bit weird!

You guys don’t know what an apology dinner is? I bet you don’t even know how to use the three seashells.

Equitable parenting over good parenting!

It's hardly huge drama, but it just highlights one of the ways where the AITA crowd feels so... alien.

The TL;DR is that parents made the first child wait till 13 to get a cellphone, but decided to let the younger one get one at 11, in part because he has a serious medical condition.

Reddit response? Overwhelming YTA.

Because to AITA, situations can't be different.

And parents can never learn they were wrong, either - if you screw up with the first kid and are too strict, apparently it's better that you're knowingly bad parents to the second child than fix things. You have to get parenting 100% right the first try, and can never admit mistakes or grow and improve.

they're assholes indeed, because no child should get a phone before 21 tbh

I get why a 15 year old sees it as unfair, it would be frustrating and its not like people that young are very good at considering the big picture or picking their battles well.
However the average reddit user is in their 20s, and they're accusing the OP of sexism, family favoritism, etc over it. It just confirms that a lot of reddit users are in a state of arrested development, and can't step outside of their own daddy issues.
